Hello,

A friend told me that few years ago, the nobel prize
laureate, Pierre Gilles De Gennes said something like:

"Solid state physic and quantum chemistry are dying
sciences." 

First, I would like to know if it is true that he said
something similar.
Second, I would greatly appreciate if someone can provide
me the exact citation and the exact reference.

Thank you very much in advance.
